100 what???

It's not "unclear" it's "inaccurate." :p "Per capita" means something specific, not just "you know, whatever." Thanks for the response tho! I could take the article more seriously if the charts made sense; consider fixing them? :)

Wait a second- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3387895/Screen%20shot%202012-01-17%... There are 100 fixies per capita in Manhattan? So each person in Manhattan owns 100 fixed gear bicycles? No wonder rent is so expensive; I imagine storing 100

This is a really good point and something that the anti-SOPA movement should address better (or at least publicize better). I imagine phoning into the American consulate or embassy tomorrow couldn't hurt! They will say "we don't control t

"The USA still is the most influential country in the world, and this fight is international, just as the web is international." As a US citizen, I didn't want to be the one to say this (in response to e.g. https://twitter.com/#!/foxhuntin

I think you're describing moveon.org. EDIT: I was unclear. "create an organization that can get everyone mobilized quickly in the future." From the wiki page of moveon.org: "They started by passing around a petition asking Congress to 'cen

In this picture as well as many other such collections, one thing that stands out to me is the fact that no one has any food. The idea put forth here is to keep in ones life only "absolutely necessary" things, ostensibly as a reaction to c

I don't understand the significance of this point. If I called and heard such things and they said "well that's just a flunkie who knows nothing, not the voice of the senator" I'd reply "How is this my problem? I call your office, this is

"Allow functions to be imported like classes" I'm a micro-php sympathizer, but I'm wondering if the pendulum isn't swinging a little too far in the other direction here. Import libraries function by function? Are there really no librari

Oh man really? Kudos to them for getting this really slick game out in HTML5, but I think they missed a trick by not giving touch support. I was playing with the mouse but the game is made for touch; it's much harder to play with the mo

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered one. There's a lead-gen form you fill out in exchange, but if the book's legit, that's a reasonable price.

I apologize because this is related to the medium, not the message, but the contrast is too low on the text and it makes it so I don't want to read it. http://www.accesskeys.org/tools/color-contrast.html --> WARNING: Either color diff

"Find a Job!" When I click this button I do not expect to be told "we'll be in touch", so I'm disappointed when I click it. "Join the Beta" or "Request Invite" might be more suitable language.

I don't understand; you want page down to go to the next "block"? That would be neat. I'm asking because pagedown seems to "work" as expected on my browser (scrolls down one viewport-height).

When you're in copy-mode (activated by prefix-[ also prefix-pgup as mentioned above) search is like vi or emacs depending on your copy-mode (vi by default I believe). SO: / to search down, ? to search up. If you want to search from the top

I'm excited to see that there is discussion going on here! I might suggest that the "manifesto" author did not say "I'm a PHP developer" to be limiting (i.e. I only write PHP) but to contrast with being e.g. a "Cake developer" or a "Rails

Hmm... I certainly didn't mean to say he "is wrong." Given many claims I can't verify, I give the person the benefit of the doubt: I can't say if it's right or wrong so I'll assume the author is right. BUT, once I see one assertion that I
